Early in 2012, a former swimming pool installer turned treasure hunter called Greg Brooks made global headlines when he announced the discovery of the SS Port Nicholson – a British freighter sunk off America in 1942, thought to be carrying £1.9bn of Russian platinum to pay for weaponry to help an increasingly desperate Stalin defeat Hitler.

Scientists using underwater vehicles and sonar have found a shipwreck off the North Carolina coast that may date back to the American Revolution, Duke University said Friday. The expedition led by Duke marine scientist Cindy Van Dover found the previously unknown wreck in mile-deep waters...

The Maud, a ship used by famed Arctic explorer Roald Amundsen that sunk after being stuck in sea ice near Cambridge Bay 85 years ago, is set to be raised early next week by a team attempting to bring it home to Norway.

Scientists have recovered more than 50 artifacts from the site, including a bronze armrest that was possibly part of a throne. Over 2,000 years ago, the churning ocean below the cliffs of the Greek island Antikythera swallowed a massive ship loaded with a trove of luxuries—fine glassware, marble statues and, famously, a complex geared device thought to be the earliest computer.

Shipwrecks were the stuff of lore around the craggy coasts of Fourni, a Greek archipelago close to Turkey in the eastern Aegean Sea. By day 5, the researchers had discovered evidence of nine more sunken ships. "I think we were all shocked," said Peter Campbell, co-director of the project from the U.S.-based RPM Nautical Foundation.

Marine archaeologists have made a "one in a lifetime discovery" after finding 22 ancient shipwrecks near the same Greek archipelago. The Greek and British expedition crew uncovered the wrecks, which date back as far as 700BC, around the archipelago of Fourni, which is in the middle of an ancient trade route between Greece, Egypt and Cyprus. Archeologists now believe there could be up to 40 shipwrecks in an area of just 17 square miles.

Since the Great Storm of 1913, the 436-foot steamship Hydrus had been lost in Lake Huron. It sank, most likely on Nov. 9 of that year, during a storm so ferocious it has been called the "White Hurricane."

Colombian President Juan Manual Santos hailed Saturday the discovery of a Spanish galleon that went down off the South American nation's coast more than 300 years ago with what may be the world's largest sunken treasure.…

When a charter boat sunk in the Caribbean and spilled Dan and Kate Suski into the sea, the brother and sister’s bond would become the difference between life and death. By Matthew Halverson. (Oct. ’15)

One Easter Sunday, the Alaska Ranger — a fishing boat out of Dutch Harbor — went down in the Bering Sea, 6,000 feet deep and thirty-two degrees cold. Forty-seven people were on board, and nearly half of them would spend hours floating alone in the darkness, in water so frigid it can kill a man in minutes. Forty-two of them would be rescued. Here’s how. By Sean Flynn. (Oct. ’08)
